Anatomy of a Playback Rig

Within the last few years, running live playback has become a huge part of the job of drummers everywhere. Modern music often contains a myriad of production elements that are difficult or sometimes impossible to recreate live. So, demand has risen drastically for people who can make these elements happen, especially on a budget.

In this video, I'll show you what a current build of a playback rig that I've built looks like. (Stay tuned until the end to see how the rig has evolved in a matter of weeks!). It's important to keep in mind that there are a myriad of different ways and components with which to build a playback rig; it all just depends on what you want yours to do.

This video also features a brief performance section where I play along to some of the backing tracks of one of the artists I perform with. At request, the following is the gear that I used to record that section:

MOTU 8Pre
Audix D6
Audix D2 (x2)
Audix D4
AKG SE-310
AKG C214 (x2)
Logic
